Donald Cerrone picked up an historic win and turned it into a family affair rather than an extension of a grudge.

Cerrone (34-11 MMA, 21-8 UFC) submitted Mike Perry (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) with an armbar with 14 seconds left in the first round. Then he brought his infant son into the cage with him for the moment he became the UFC’s all-time wins leader, as well as its all-time leader in finishes.

That moment of celebration with his son, his girlfriend and his biggest fan, his grandmother, took precedent for “Cowboy” over the beef with his former Jackson Wink MMA camp and coaches, who were in Perry’s corner.

The welterweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC Fight Night 136 show at Pepsi Center in Denver. It aired on FS1 following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Perry was in Cerrone’s guard and tried to posture up, but Cerrone grabbed his arm. And that was the beginning of the end. Cerrone torqued on an armbar, and when Perry couldn’t roll out of it, he had to tap.
